"Portrait of a Gentleman traditionally called A Member of the Dacre Family" is an oil painting by the English portrait artist George Gower, created in 1587. As one of the leading portraitists of the Elizabethan era, Gower is known for his detailed and realistic depictions of the English nobility. This particular work is notable for its historical association with the Dacre family, an influential noble family during the Tudor period, although the exact identity of the sitter remains a matter of speculation.

The painting is executed in the Tudor style, characterized by its attention to the intricate details of the sitter's attire and accessories, which were often used to signify status and wealth. The gentleman in the portrait is depicted against a dark background, which serves to highlight the rich textures and colors of his clothing, as well as the fine craftsmanship of his jewelry and adornments. The sitter's pose and expression convey a sense of dignity and poise, typical of the portraiture of the time.

The artwork is a valuable example of Gower's oeuvre and provides insight into the fashion and societal norms of the late 16th century. It also contributes to the understanding of the visual culture of the Elizabethan court and the role of portraiture in asserting social identity. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be a subject of study for art historians interested in the period.

As with many works of this era, the provenance and historical context of the painting add layers of meaning and intrigue, inviting further research and interpretation. The attribution to a member of the Dacre family, while traditional, underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the commissioning of such portraits, which were often used to assert the sitter's status and family pride.
